1954 Map of Winslow

About this map

The Winslow urban center and its mid-century expansion into Bushman Acres dominate the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as a primary industrial artery. To the north, the Navajo Indian Reservation landscape is marked by the meandering path of the Little Colorado River, providing a stark contrast between the grid-patterned city and the expansive open range. This era shows a community in transition, balancing its traditional ranching roots at places like Rincon Ranch with modern infrastructure such as the Winslow Municipal Airport, a Drive-in Theater, and the Radio Sta (KVNC). High plateaus like Tucker Mesa and Ives Mesa overlook the surrounding washes, while local industry is evidenced by a Gravel Pit and Quarry near the riverbanks.
